Andrew Farrell says:

A parody of the Wall Street Journal did not amuse the paper recently bought by billionaire Rupert Murdoch. It appears a WSJ employee is buying up all the copies of the parody.

“My Wall Street Journal,” a spoof.

 <P>The tabloid-format satire, “My Wall Street Journal,” mostly sets out to skewer The Journal’s new owner, the <A title="News Corporation" href="http://www.nytimes.com/mem/MWredirect.html?MW=http://custom.marketwatch.com/custom/nyt-com/html-companyprofile.asp&symb=NWS">News Corporation</A>, and its chairman, <A title="More articles about Rupert Murdoch." href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/m/rupert_murdoch/index.html?inline=nyt-per">Rupert Murdoch</A>, with swipes at News properties like Fox News, The New York Post and The Journal itself.  It takes aim at  other targets, too, including Wall Street firms and traders, and assorted politicians and pundits.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/F73FCC8E-628F-410F-977E-BA687336F9D8/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
